The chaotic scenes after UFC 229's main event had people talking across the world including some famous names.

Conor McGregor's return to the octagon ended in a fourth-round submission defeat to Khabib Nurmagomedov at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

However, that was only half the story as the victorious Nurmagomedov proceeded to attack McGregor's teammate Dillon Danis, and the Irishman himself was assaulted by two of his conqueror's teammates.

Former heavyweight world champion Mike Tyson tweeted of the incredible scenes: "Watching the TheNotoriousMMA vs TeamKhabib fight. Unimaginable never thought it would go down like this. Crazier than my fight riot."

Many though condemned the undefeated Russian's post-fight antics on social media with Irish boxer Michael Conlan saying: "Khabib was very good in there, showed why he’s undefeated but f**ked the whole show with those antics after.

English boxer Tony Bellew sang a similar tune, tweeting: "Conor lost the fight fair and square yes.. Not a chance in the world he deserves to be attacked by two men!

"One in front and one from behind! Both bare knuckle after he’s just been fighting for 20 mins anyway! It’s a disgrace! People bringing up the bus incident? No comparison!"

This view was not exactly shared by controversial heavyweight Tyson Fury who thought it was all part and parcel of the fight game.

Fury tweeted: "Excellent aftermath of the UFC tonight all is fair in love and war!"

He added: "Whoever says they have never been punched in the back of the head then they have never been involved in a brawl! It’s all a part of being a fighting man."

It was a second loss in his last four fights in the UFC for McGregor but he still has the support of many Irish fans including Ireland international David Meyler.

There were plenty of fans happy to see the Notorious eating humble pie though, one of whom seemed to be rapper Curtis Jackson, better known as 50 Cent, who tweeted an unflattering picture of McGregor with the caption: "This is when you regret throwing a chair in Brooklyn. LOL."

The American music star was referring to when McGregor landed himself in hot water for attacking Nurmagomedov’s bus following UFC 223 in April.

He followed up his tweet with a picture of McGregor tapping out, this time he captioned it with: "Tap, Tap, Tap. Get the strap."
